Ornamental horticultural plants in domestic gardens can constitute a substantial dispersal pool of potentially invasive species. Understanding garden owners' preferences when selecting plants, their awareness of dispersal pathways and how they manage their gardens is critical for effective invasive species control. This study used a survey to investigate Swedish garden owners' (n = 743) plant sele

Virtual reality can be a useful research tool to investigate how people behave in different fire situations. For the results from such experiments to have good validity, i.e., to represent behaviours that can occur in a real environment, the VR environment must be perceived as a good substitute for the real environment. The project focuses on how to achieve such high-quality VR environments. Two d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tarmsjukdomen celiaki, glutenintolerans, är en av våra vanligaste kroniska sjukdomar som utvecklas då man inte tål ämnet gluten, ett protein som framför allt finns i vete, råg och korn. För att utveckla celiaki krävs en genetisk sårbarhet, vilket innebär att man i arvsmassan bär på en benägenhet som gör att man kan utveckla sjukdomen vid intag av mat innehållande glutenAbstract Sweden experienced an epidemic (1984-96) of celiac disease in children, partly attributed to changes in infant feed- ing. Our aim was to compare the total prevalence of celiac disease in two birth cohorts of 12-year-olds and relate the findings to each cohort’s ascertained infant feeding. Furthermore, we compared the growth parameters in the children with screening-detected celiac disease

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN) markets have operated efficiently, a controversial and unexplored area in prior research. This is done through an event study of the retroactive introductions of the Blenders Tax Credit (BTC) and its effect on the RIN Credit Market, related commodity markets and relevant firm stocks. The study applies a samp

Brottet olaga integritetsintrång trädde i kraft i svensk lagstiftning den 1 januari år 2018 och infördes som en del i det politiska arbetet med att modernisera den svenska straffrätten till att på ett mer tillfredsställande sätt kunna möta de utmaningar som uppstått i vårt alltmer digitaliserade samhälle. Internets framväxt har inneburit positiva såväl som negativa konsekvenser, både för individenThe crime of unlawful invasion of privacy took effect in Swedish legislation January 1st 2018 and was introduced as part of the political work to modernize Swedish criminal law to be able to meet the legal challenges in our increasingly digitized society in a more satisfactory way. The rise of the Internet has had positive as well as negative consequences, for individuals as well as for the democr

One by one, municipalities around Sweden have started their policies and activities to tackle unemployment. Lund municipality has since 2020 expanded its employment services. This study analyses the employment services implementation in Lund municipality's local government regime. The analysis is done mainly through the lenses of the implementation theory of Lipsky’s (1980; 2010) on street-lev

Background and aimHypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in unconscious patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Many patients die after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments (WLST), often due to a presumed poor prognosis. To minimise the risk of premature WLST, guidelines recommend using a multimodal prognostication. Head compute

Glyoxalase I (GlxI) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG) with the help of glutathione (H-SG). It is currently unclear whether MG and H-SG are substrates of GlxI or whether the enzyme processes hemithioacetal (HTA), which is nonenzymatically formed from MG and H-SG. Most previous studies have concentrated on the latter mechanism. Here, we study the two-subs

This paper presents an initial technology assessment of the suitability of using aluminium as an energy carrier in shipping. The overall conclusion is that aluminium may become a suitable future energy carrier. Several advantages of using aluminium exist, including high theoretical energy densities, high resource availability, opportunity for circularity, and future potential for low lifecycle env

Shortly before Christmas 2012, in a Beijing flea market and at a price, I was offered a cache of more than two thousand moth-eaten surveillance (“stake-out”) logs from the early 1950s emanating with the Bureau of Public Security in the city of Harbin, Manchuria. Unable to figure out what to do with them, I turned the offer down. Only later did it dawn on the historian in me that the logs just migh

Anaerobic digestion provides an array of positive environmental benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, replacing mineral fertilizers, producing renewable energy and treating waste. However, pitfalls in anaerobic digestion such as poor methane yields, process instability, process failure and regional shortages of feedstock have limited the full exploitation of the anaerobic digestion p
